Golden Oaks

Great value course. Has some variety of holes, and some good par 3s but nothing too challenging. Greens are pretty simple but rolled true and overall conditions were great.

Nice little grass range as well.

Enjoyed it

Windy Day on the Ocean

This was a fun stop - quick 2 hour round for 18 holes with a lot of memorable shots. The first 6 or 7 holes play off the inland waterways, but there is a great stretch of holes up to the beach, and along side it that are really cool. First time I think I played along the ocean. Bonus is that the wind was howling at 30mph, which was fun and difficult

Scramble Tournament

Played Applecross in a scramble tournament so I have some holes out of order in my head.

Conditions were nice, and really like the green complexes. I thought some of the holes were funky, too tight, or odd turns - it would help to have a rangefinder to know some distances.

The barn they renovated on property was very nice inside.

Raven's Claw

I used to play raven's Claw a lot, not so much in recent years but went back for Father's Day.

Greens were fantastic, rolled fast and true, with very few ball marks or areas of need. Much better than I remember and better than most public courses you will play. I was impressed.

Rest of the course was in good shape as well - played firm on the fairways.

Hate hole #11, #17 is a bear.

Westover CC

second time playing Westover. I think you get what you pay for. It was 55 prime time on a Sunday - course itself has a couple of decent holes, and a few that are forgettable. Conditions were decent, much better this time that when I played it before.
Careful on #11 - odd tee shot and second shot.
Small putting area, and small range.
If you are looking for a decently priced round that you can get through relatively quick, this is a good place.
Bar looked nice, pro-shop had almost nothing in it.

Old Limerick Course

Played Landis Creek in 3 hours on a Saturday morning, can't beat that.

The layout is pretty ordinary, with a wide open front 9, there are a few holes on the back (11, 12) in particular that I could do without. 11 really needs some distance markers near it.

Greens and green complexes were very nice, didn't roll all that fast, but rolled true. They did good work to them, fairways (outside of one or two) were pretty good.

This place was great for a quick, affordable round - great for beginners. Still gotta hit shots and make putts, but a lot of room to miss, and nothing too long. Would come back depending on what I am looking for.

Nice restaurant and patio.

Course can be tricky

Ledrach is a nice course, and was in great shape considering the heavy rain a few days before.
You really need to know the green complexes and where you are hitting the ball, there are rolling hills, and a lot of blind hazards. If you can - go drive up and look at the landing areas and where the flags are located - it can make a big difference.
For example, on #2 there is a huge bunker that you can't see from the tee over the ridge, same for a few other holes. I would also say you could play holes entirely different based on where the pin is located, number 18 is an example of that - pin in the front vs. the back makes it a different hole.
Enjoyed the round, but expect a few tricky shots when you play there.

In great shape

I have been playing Reading CC probably twice a year for 5 years now and I think this was the best shape that I have seen it in. The greens really rolled well, and had very few trouble spots.
We were lucky to get out in a gap of time with no one in front or behind, which made it better - always good to play in 3.5 hours.
Has some very scorable holes if you are playing well - if you drive it well you will have a lot of good scores.
some elevation changes and other hazards to make sure you think about your club selection.
Nice bar attached.

Good Value

we always play here when we fly into WPB airport - its only a few minutes away and is a pretty good way to get loose after a flight if you are going to be playing golf. It is cheap, course is ok, seems to have gone down a little over the years.

Nice putting green, and chipping area, and grass driving range.

Clubhouse is gone!

The worst course in palm beach county. The fairways aren't good enough to graze cattle. The only improvement done over the last few years are the greens. They should spend the money redoing the course instead of building a new club house. I will never spend good money playing the course,again.

Tight

Too tight for me. Houses and hazards line almost all of the holes, and close to the fairway. Our whole group struggled with the course - we were much happier to head to the other PGA village courses where there is some breathing room.

A nice range and friendly staff.

Solid Public Course

Turtle Creek is always about the same. Good, not great, conditions and an average layout. Some of the Par 4's really play similar, especially on the front. The back has a few more interesting holes but it not a layout that has a lot of variety. It is a very forgiving course, but you still need to hit a few shots.

Prime time price is close to $70, which is a lot for the course.

Some Great Views

I played several years ago, and feel like they have made some of the views on the course much better. There were some great shots of the skyline and the river.

Greens were in good shape, but didn't roll too fast. fairways were in good shape - maybe over watered as they were pretty wet when we first went out.

Pace was the major issue - although there were many rangers out there and kept asking how things were, there was really nothing they could do as there were so many groups backed up in front. It was almost a 5 hour round on a Friday morning. There was some wind, but the course isn't that difficult for people to be out there that long....

Improving Delco course

Not a lot of great option for public golf in Delco, but Paxon Hollow has been doing a good job of fixing itself up. 5 years ago it was not in great shape, but they have taken good care of it over the past few years and the green, fairways, and tee boxes are in pretty good shape.
The course itself it ok - few tough holes, few easy ones,nothing overwhelmingly spectacular. But a nice round if you can play in a reasonable amount of time and get a decent price.

Torresdale Frankfort - New Union League course

I was interested to see this course after the Union League took it over and put a lot of money into it. The facilities are very nice, although I did not eat - the restaurant looked beautiful and the locker room was great.
The course itself was very nice, I played from the middle tees so I didn't get the full brunt of the course - but the greens were extremely quick. On 1 my playing partner putted past the hole and it rolled back in - I would actually say on one or two holes it was a little unfair. Don't miss long, and make sure to not short side yourself, in addition to the greens being quick, they were small and sloped.

some well placed fairway bunkers came into play for me, and some other tough challenges to the course.....very nice place to play a challenging round.

Short but tricky course

I've played McCall several times. Don't have to hit the driver at all if you don't want to, but you can hit it on all Par 4's if you want to take the risk. Some great holes - tough par 3's like #2 (190 and well bunkered), and #4 (230 with a creek, bunkers, and severe sloping) and few fun par 4's like #13 and #15 (which are drivable with hazards all around). They have a few boring and repeated holes but all in all a great fun course that you can zip around on. It should not take more than 3 hours to play a round here.
Greens are fun and roll true. Course is usually in solid shape.

Great Value

I played here the other day - it was very convenient, rented clubs, played as a single and they were great in getting me off quickly.

Course itself was fine - nothing really special or of note, but all in all it was an enjoyable round. Very little water on the course, a lot of room off of the tee.

I would play again, but not go out of my way for it.

First Time at Rivercrest

Didn't know much about the course when I arrived. Great facilities, solid practice are and putting green.

Course was in great shape and great views off the tee boxes. Some tough holes with water on approaches to tough greens and pins. Many of the greens had run up areas that you could play.

Nice patio looking at the 18th and waterfall.

Solid Public Course

Enjoyed the round at Golden Oaks. It is a nice clubhouse, pro shop, and bar area. Course was in good shape. Relatively easy course with trees along many fairways but not posing too much trouble. Fairly large fairways and greens, water only comes into play a few times. Elevation changes on several approach shots makes choosing the right club important. Front 9 outside of 3 and 9 is somewhat repetitious in hole layout. Back played with a little more variety. Can play pretty long depending on the tees you choose 6100 from blacks, 6600 from gold, and one more set of tees even farther back.
Will play again.....staff was very friendly.
